“I could reach nirvana tonight…”

There are few things as comforting to the food-starved soul as carbs. Depending on what corner of the world you find yourself in, it could just as easily be a bowl of warm rice topped with a fried egg, as it could be a plate of steaming pasta dressed with nothing more than some extra [...]

If you’re standing in your wine cellar (I know, I’ve got to use my imagination, too), telling your best friend about this great bottle of Burgundy you just snatched up for $105, you’ll not likely be met with a gaping stare. Same goes for a bottle of Bordeaux from an esteemed château, or a Super [...]

The winner will get a bottle of wine (chosen by me) delivered to them for free by Wine Chateau. I’ll get a bottle of the [...]

It’s no small secret that we, as a nation—scratch that…as a species—are destructively self indulgent. We manufacture and we streamline in the interest of “progress” and “innovation”, seldom concerned about or aware of the negative impact we have on the world we are supposed to be living IN and not ON. It isn’t until the [...]

File this under “Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid” lest the Champagne industry make more fools of us than it already has. For decades, ad agencies have had their fun with us, knowing that most Americans see Champagne as a luxury, exclusively celebratory beverage, and using that knowledge to their 401K’s advantage by marketing it as such.

Yes, I know it’s been forever. The cesspool-like combination of guilt, self loathing and general apathy has been lurking in a dark recess of my brain for two weeks now, knowing I’ve completely fallen out of my 2-post-a-week groove. The blogosphere has no doubt been a little lacking in general snarkiness and raw writing because [...]

There is nothing—and I mean nothing—like negative publicity to create a stampede-like demand for a new product nowadays, and what’s always fun to watch is the idiot posse that kicks up the dust to begin with, trying so desperately (and so unsuccessfully) to prevent the product from getting to market at all. The following conversation [...]

To be voted the best restaurant in the world is no doubt an insanely flattering honor, and an ego boost to be sure. Chefs and restauranteurs spend thankless lifetimes just trying to run a successful business, much less earn a star or two from the New York Times or Michelin. To receive that title five [...]
